Quality Control

CM & Associates has established effective project controls that guarantee a level of quality control expected of a premier construction management firm. We understand that monitoring and maintaining these control points is essential in running a successful project. Each project is subject to monthly project review meetings in which deficiencies in any of the control points is targeted. This allows the appropriate personnel to focus on resolving the issues at hand. Identification and immediate resolution of all issues is paramount.

Risk Management

Partnering with Arch Financial, CMA has developed a comprehensive risk management strategy, which includes safety procedures, liability and an exclusive sub-guard policy.

After completing a rigorous and thorough application process, we are proud to be one of a very select group of construction management firms to be approved for a Subcontractor Default Insurance Policy. The security that a Subcontrator Default Insurance Policy provides is essential in continuing the growth of CMA. Through this policy, CMA is able to protect both CMA and the Client from default from any subcontractor utilized on a project. With the use of the Arch Financial Subcontractor Insurance Policy, we are able to guarantee the successful completion of all trade contractors.

Furthermore, our safety procedure protocol minimizes risk in field operations, as well as re-allocates risk to the contractor where applicable. This approach adds a substantial level of protection for our clients.
